All,

	I had been running my gateway on 2.4.16 for quite a while and
then upgraded it to 2.4.17 and started gettin an Oops about once a day.
Problem also tested and exists on 2.4.18pre2 and 2.4.18pre3.  Ends up
with "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 5a5a5a5a"
and the EIP ends up 0010:5a5a5a5a.  Hmmm...  That's ascii ZZZZ.

	A ksymoops is attached below...

	System is IDE based and has Magic SysRq enabled.

	A SysRq sync seems to work but an unmount gives me another
oops with scheduling in interrupt handler:

] SysRq : Emergency Sync
] Syncing device 03:01 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:06 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:05 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:07 ... OK
] Done.
] SysRq : Emergency Sync
] Syncing device 03:01 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:06 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:05 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:07 ... OK
] Done.
] SysRq : Emergency Sync
] Syncing device 03:01 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:06 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:05 ... OK
] Syncing device 03:07 ... OK
] Done.
] SysRq : Emergency Remount R/O
] Remounting device 03:01 ... Scheduling in interrupt
] invalid operand: 0000
] CPU:    0
] EIP:    0010:[<c01111bb>]    Not tainted
] EFLAGS: 00010286
] eax: 00000018   ebx: ffffffff   ecx: c344c000   edx: 00000001
] esi: c02ee000   edi: c02efda4   ebp: c02efd8c   esp: c02efd44
] ds: 0018   es: 0018   ss: 0018

	(I can generate a ksymoops for the emergency remount, if anyone
thinks it matters.)

	Fsck after reboot is often pretty dirty and half the time
has an unexpected inconsistency requiring manual fsck.

	Notes:  System is running latest FreeSWAN IPSec snapshot
and has multiple PPP links running over a Computone Multiport
Serial board along with 5 ethernet interfaces and a PPP link running
over an stunnel process.  It's a busy box...  :-/

	There are no unusual messages in /var/log/messages prior to
the failure (I have some diagnostic code in the Computone driver
watching for unusual conditions in the driver, I haven't even been
getting board timeouts).

	Any ideas what may be causing this or what I can do to isolate
the proble further?

	Mike

ksymoops 2.4.3 on i586 2.4.18-pre3.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.18-pre3/ (default)
     -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.
